Sticker Market: Emoji Keyboard iPhone Review

Now that iMessage has its very own App Store, new and creative additions have been popping up on iPhone owners keyboards. Sticker Market: Emoji Keyboard by Sticker Market, Inc. aims to bring all the frills to your messages all in one keyboard app. Here’s the app’s description:

Sticker Market is an all-in-one platform with a great collection of stickers, GIFs and face emojis. Install the app keyboard and enjoy sharing the awesome stickers and millions of GIFs in all top messaging apps like Facebook, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Hangouts, WeChat and more.

Express exactly what’s on your mind with GIFs! Sticker Market GIF keyboard is the easiest and fastest way to find and share awesome animated GIFs. With our constantly growing collection of GIFs, your messages will never be boring again!

If you’re happy, sad, excited or surprised, there’s no better way to show how you feel, than with fun and creative stickers. Bright up your conversations with hundreds of static and animated sticker sets available on Sticker Market.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Use the camera to take images and make your own stickers. Take advantage of the cool selection of masks and effects to create your own face emojis to share with friends and loved ones.

Enjoy the ease of not switching between the keyboards for each messenger or social network. Make your everyday conversation fun and engaging with creative sticker sets and millions of GIFs. Sticker Market comes with iMessage integration, so your favorite stickers are always handy.

Simply install the app on your phone and launch. Sticker Market requires an account to get started but allows you to sign in with an existing Facebook or Google account. If you wish, a traditional email registration is also available. Once the account is created you can add the app to your keyboard. Make sure you also open the general settings of the phone to add the new keyboard and allow full access. If you haven’t done this before, Sticker Market will show you a step-by-step guide on how to do this.

To use, just select the Sticker Market keyboard in the messages app. Type like normal, then click the app icon button to switch to options for stickers, emojis, gifs and custom CropMe cutouts and EmojiFace images. Opening the full app will take you to the Sticker Market store to download more sticker options as well as create your own. The most unique thing about this app is the ability to not only share images and use the custom keyboard, but the amount of creation as well. My favorite is the built-in StickerCam that will allow you to take a selfie or picture and add stickers right on top before sending, emulating the animal faces and flower crowns made popular by Snap-Chat and other filter apps. Of course with Sticker Market you can send your creations through messages, or save them and send through any app of your choosing.

The layout is very nice and simply arranged making navigation easy. Creating the EmojiFaces were a little more difficult, taking a few tries before I understood how to take the pictures and select and place stickers. It is not exactly the same as the live facial tracking features, but it still does the job. Plus you can use photos already in your library.

Sticker Market: Emoji Keyboard is great as an iMessage sticker app and keyboard substitute. It has a variety of options and creatives will love fashioning their own stickers to add to their library. The app is available now in the App Store for free.
